Enhance the entrepreneurial capacity of artists in Fort McMurray, Alberta

Through this 27-month project, the Coalition of LGBTQ+ Youth Groups will strengthen the capacity and networks of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations to promote equality for 2SLGBTQI+ people. It will focus on improving the sustainability and proper functioning of youth and 2SLGBTQI+ organizations, preserving knowledge in 2SLGBTQI+ networks, the various systemic barriers to leadership positions existing in communities, and the barriers faced by the most marginalized when in positions of power. The project will include consulting with various youth and 2SLGBTQI+ leaders; developing HR and knowledge transfer guides for the inclusion of diverse 2SLGBTQI+ youth and distributing these guides to members; developing tools for the sustainability of the organization and its membership, such as writing clinics for grant applications and a strategic funding plan; and lastly, holding a conference to present the guides and results internally.

Through this 27-month project, the Massimadi Foundation will strengthen the capacity and networks of 2SLGBTQI+ community organizations to advance 2SLGBTQI+ equality. The project will raise the profile of the Afro-descendant 2SLGBTQI+ community through inclusivity, accessibility, and representation within Quebec’s cultural landscapes. The project will include improving and strengthening the organization’s financial management, registering the organization as a charity, and developing a communications plan, as well as redesigning the website.

Through this 27-month project, JusticeTrans will strengthen its organizational capacity and relationships with 2SLGBTQI+ and Two-Spirit, trans, non-binary and gender diverse communities. To achieve this, the organization will consult Indigenous elders to review and update its policies, using decolonial, 2SLGBTQI+, risk reduction, trauma-informed, disability justice and GBA+ frameworks. This will enable the creation of more inclusive practices and procedures, aligned with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action. As part of the project, JusticeTrans will use a skills matrix to measure the effectiveness of its board of directors in order to put in place a standardized on-boarding process, an accountability framework, a policy manual, and a recruitment and retention manual.

Building on its current strategic plan, JusticeTrans will develop a financial health plan to ensure the organization's sustainability. Communication tools, an education and awareness plan, and new information security practices will also be implemented to protect the organization and its members from the rise of hate movements and anti-trans and anti-2SLGBTQI+ legislation. Legal training and workshops will be provided to staff members to improve their understanding of general laws and regulations.
